When is Formula E’s Rome E-Prix and how can I watch it?

Formula E will surge past the midway mark of the 2018/19 season following the conclusion of this weekend’s Rome E-Prix.

Season five has so far served up a thrilling spectacle, with six different drivers and teams sharing victories across the first six rounds of the campaign, while the top six drivers (all different teams) in the championship are separated by just 10 points.
